Katie Holmes's Bobbi Brown Ads Are Very 'Good-Girl-Gone-Glam'

Quick: What do you hope you look like at that holiday party where you know you’re going to see your dumb ex, and you want to look amazing? Glossy waves, flawless skin, perfect red lips and a killer dress? Well, you just described Katie Holmes‘s latest Bobbi Brown ads, if you’re looking for inspiration.

The star gives her best “sultry diva” pose for the line’s latest campaign. After her two previous looks (‘girl next door’ lovely and romantic night out), she traded neutral lips and pink cheeks for a knockout face that would stop any man in his tracks.

The first face of Bobbi Brown is all done up in the line’s Old Hollywood eye palette and glamorous black ink liner, but what we really want to talk about is those bloodred lips, courtesy of the Old Hollywood limited edition red lipstick. Brown says you swipe it on right out of the tube, but for Holmes’s precise look, use a lip brush and top it with lip liner.

Maybe it’s the angle of her face, but I don’t think she looks anything like herself at all. It’s a nice picture but with too much makeup or too much airbrushing. I guess that is the nature of glamour shots though…nobody ever looks like themselves when it’s all done. It was probably fun for her though, and Lord knows she needs to have a little fun with all the stress of the ex drama. That dress is stunning.
